Venetia Williams could probably saddle up the stable cat and place it to win somewhere, such has been the Herefordshire handler's rich vein of form.

She has fine prospects of continuing her spree at Newbury, where Indalo can land the Powersolve Electronics Greatwood Charity Handicap Chase (2.25).

The front-running 10-year-old will be making his first appearance of the season, but maintained an upward curve last term with three wins from his last four runs.

A horse who never does a lot when getting close to the line, Indalo is quite a tough type for the handicapper to get to grips with.

He goes up again for his last success at Carlisle in March, but an entry in the Welsh National later this month suggests Williams thinks he could still be going places and she is capable of producing horses first time out.

Gallant Approach has impressed over hurdles and can get off the mark over fences in the Raffin Stud Greatwood Caring For Retired Racehorses Novices' Chase (12.50). Charlie Egerton's gelding is an ex point-to-pointer and was fifth in a hot contest at Sandown on his timber debut last season before getting off the mark under Rules last month when outpointing Mikado. He will have done plenty of schooling and could make up into a fair sort.

Cruise Director looks interesting on his hurdling debut at the Berkshire track, having shown some high-grade form on the level.

Willie Musson's five-year-old has been holding his own in mile-and-a-half handicaps for a while now and scored at York in May. He's likely to stay the trip and is worth a look in the Cantor Gaming Maiden Hurdle (1.20).

Oscar Park is unopposable in the European Breeders Fund "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle (3.00) having shown himself as one of the best youngsters around. Colin Tinkler's gelding is unbeaten from four career starts and has looked pretty untouchable on his two starts over hurdles so far, winning unchallenged on both occasions.

He should be able to continue on his winning ways despite a penalty.

Von Origny should be forgiven his poor run last time and can make amends at Bangor.

Henry Daly is not messing around with the grey, having sent him chasing as a four-year-old and he opened his account in some style at Market Rasen.

Unfortunately he was less distinguished in a hot little contest at Exeter, when he lost his place and finished well down the field.

However, the performance looked uncharacteristically bad as he had been progressive over hurdles, so he should get back on track in the Christmas Meeting Novices' Chase (3.00).

The Alan King-trained Halcon Genelardais was in the process of running a big race on his seasonal return at Aintree before he fell at the last in a valuable contest won by Covent Garden.

He probably would not have troubled the winner that day, but he at least seems to have maintained the form which saw him win two of his other three British starts.

The Alfa Aggregate Handicap Hurdle (2.05) would appear to offer less of a challenge and he has a leading chance with his trainer having hit something of a recent purple patch.
